Daji's name is known to everyone in Wanling Country, and now that she has achieved Immortal Dao, it immediately caused a huge uproar.
For two consecutive weeks, the entrance of Chuanyin Hall was packed with people, all hoping to catch a glimpse of Daji's immortal beauty, with many even skipping meals just to stay at the doorway.
This trend even turned into a governance issue and was brought to Ao Luan.
Ao Luan temporarily prohibited Daji from going out.
Yet, even so, wherever she went, she could hear people discussing Daji, their enthusiastic talks making her frown.
Daji, having become an Immortal, attracted so much attention that even those high above immortals were drawn to her.
It seemed that even Immortal Zhenyuan couldn't help but take a glance.
Feeling the atmosphere, Ao Luan became somewhat restless.
"I hope Brother isn't bewitched by that vixen."
With this thought, Ao Luan, who had been diligently studying cooking for a month, carefully made a bowl of ramen and gave it to Sun Wukong.
She nervously watched as Sun Wukong took a few bites and asked, "Brother, how is it?"
"Hmm, it's pretty bad."
Sun Wukong answered honestly.
He knew he shouldn't have eaten it the moment he saw the ramen emitting blue smoke.
But unable to refuse Ao Luan's kindness, he ate it anyway — and regretted it.
"I think you're not suited for cooking."
Sun Wukong told Ao Luan.
"Can't you say something nice?"
Ao Luan was hurt; this blockhead didn't know how to sugarcoat at all.
"I tried to put it nicely."
Sun Wukong replied.
Seeing Ao Luan didn't believe him, he waved over Ning Shen Si and handed him the ramen: "Take a couple of bites."
Ning Shen Si looked at him with a pale face, took a bite, and then there was no "after".
"You see…"
Sun Wukong, watching the uncertain fate of Ning Shen Si, said, "You should stop making ramen."
"How could this happen?"
Ao Luan, seeing Ning Shen Si's expression, showed disbelief.
"Everyone has their strengths."
Sun Wukong consoled: "You don't need to do things you're not good at."
"This time it's because my skills aren't refined."
Ao Luan shook her head, "I will make delicious ramen."
She gave Sun Wukong a stubborn look and left with the ramen.
Great Emperor Zhenwu happened to come in from outside, brushing past Ao Luan, and caught sight of what was in her hands.
"Why is Ao Luan interested in poison?"
The Emperor asked, glancing at the unconscious Ning Shen Si.
This poison is really fierce!
"That's not poison, it's ramen."
Sun Wukong answered.
Great Emperor Zhenwu paused for a moment: "Ramen?"
He glanced again at Ning Shen Si, then looked back at Sun Wukong with sympathy.
"Does the Emperor have important matters today?"
Sun Wukong asked; Great Emperor Zhenwu doesn't usually come over.
If he had problems, he would have contacted him directly through the Mysterious Light Mirror; him coming in person certainly meant something significant.
Great Emperor Zhenwu then looked serious.
"Great Saint, the Floating Spaceship from Huaguo Mountain to Wanling City has been completely robbed."
Sun Wukong thought he misheard: "Completely robbed? A robbery?"
"It's not a robbery; it's theft."
Great Emperor Zhenwu stated.
The Floating Spaceship flying from Huaguo Mountain to Wanling City was loaded with many Spiritual Objects. After the spaceship docked, the demons discovered that all the Spiritual Objects in the cargo hold had vanished.
Sun Wukong frowned: "Wasn't the Immortal of Colossal Spirit guarding the ship?"
"He had no clue at all."
The Great Emperor Zhen Wu replied, it was precisely because The Immortal of Colossal Spirit hadn't noticed that he realized the situation was extraordinary and came to tell Sun Wukong.
To steal the Spiritual Objects right under the nose of The Immortal of Colossal Spirit is not something just anyone could do.
"Perhaps it was the work of an Immortal."
The Great Emperor Zhen Wu said, "With such skill to swap heaven and earth, it is either an Immortal or a Great Demon."
Sun Wukong pondered for a moment: "It's unlikely to be an Immortal."
The Heavenly Palace had no reason to do such a thing for some mortal's Spiritual Objects.
"I think so too, hence I wanted the Great Saint to use your Eyes of Golden Flame to see..."
The Great Emperor Zhen Wu said, "Whether some powerful Demon has infiltrated Wanling City."
"Wanling City?"
Sun Wukong was somewhat surprised: "Is he in Wanling City?"
"Most likely."
The Great Emperor Zhen Wu nodded: "The spaceship made no stops en route; the thief who stole the Spiritual Objects must be hiding among the migrants."
Sun Wukong immediately realized the gravity of the problem.
If there was an outsider hiding among the migrants from Huaguo Mountain, likely more accidents would occur in the future.
"I'll go have a look."
Sun Wukong immediately left the Wanling Hall, activated his Eyes of Golden Flame, and scanned in the direction of Wanling City.
Wanling City was teeming with Demons, but the powerful aura of a powerful Demon was as clear to Sun Wukong as a torch in the night.
"There really is—"
Sun Wukong targeted a direction, his face showing surprise: "Right in the noodle shop of the Bull Demon King."
"I'll go investigate."
The Great Emperor Zhen Wu immediately flew off, and soon after, a burst of fire rose into the sky, and a large bird flew out from it.
"I didn't steal your things!"
The large bird let out a long cry, soaring into the sky.
This sound shook the entirety of Wanling City.
"What Demon is that!"
People in Wanling City all stopped their activities and looked up at the sky.
The Demon was huge in size, with a bird's body but nine heads and eighteen eyes, emanating light from front to back.
"So, it's him..."
Sun Wukong recognized the large bird.
The Nine-Headed Beast, recorded in the Heavenly Book, had once stolen the Buddha's Relics from the Kingdom of Jisai by causing a blood rain.
This is a repeat offender, but… does it really have the ability to rob an entire spaceship?
Sun Wukong scanned Wanling City again but didn't notice any stranger more powerful than the Nine-Headed Beast.
At that moment, the Bull Demon King also flew to midair, pleading with the Great Emperor Zhen Wu.
"Great Emperor, this is my good friend. You must be mistaken; he couldn't have possibly stolen those Spiritual Objects."
The Bull Demon King said.
The Great Emperor Zhen Wu adhered to principles but wasn't willing to do him this favor.
"Whether he stole or not, I will naturally investigate thoroughly."
The Great Emperor Zhen Wu said coldly, "Changing into a human form and hiding on the spaceship is conclusive evidence; come back with me to explain clearly."
So, the Nine-Headed Beast was also mixed in on the spaceship.
"Great Emperor, withdraw your Spell."
Sun Wukong flew over and said to the Great Emperor Zhen Wu, "He didn't steal them."
Both the Nine-Headed Beast and the Bull Demon King looked visibly relieved.
The Great Emperor Zhen Wu was puzzled and asked with a frown, "Why are you so certain?"
"He doesn't have the capability."
Sun Wukong replied.
The Nine-Headed Beast was a Great Demon, but he didn't believe it could steal the Spiritual Objects.
This guy needed a bloody rain to steal Buddha's Relics; sneaking the Spiritual Objects from right under the eyes of The Immortal of Colossal Spirit without a trace was simply impossible.
After all, it was a whole ship's worth of Spiritual Objects.
The Nine-Headed Beast wouldn't even have a place to hide them.
